Mystery Science Theatre -3000


Welcome to Cerealia's latest attraction. In an effort to branch into other forms of entertainment, CERES has been slowly patching together films from various worlds to show in its brand new movie theater. So, grab a friend, sit back, and enjoy the newest batch of imported films with a nice bucket of popcorn. As you'll notice from the long line outside, it's the latest rage in the colony, and those tired of the same virtual battles in ViViD are eager to enjoy a little change in scenery.

For those eager to participate, you will find yourself being lead into the lobby by one of the many robotic theater employees. Showing today are five special films, and in the lobbies are various screens advertising them through the movie's digital avatar, Mnemosyne. Allow her to take you on a virtual tour of CERES' finest theatrical offerings.

(( P.S. no actual actors/actresses appear in any of the films. It's all done through advanced CGi-technology and voice acting. ))
"GOOD EVENING, MOVIE-GOERS. I AM MNEMOSYNE, YOUR GUIDE FOR THIS EVENING.

AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE SEVERAL CONCESSIONS FOR YOU. PLEASE PARTAKE IN THE CONCESSIONS, BUT DO NOT MAKE A MESS. THE THEATER ROBOTS HAVE BEEN PROGRAMMED TO TAKE ACTION FOR LITTERING.

TONIGHT'S FILMS ARE THE MUCH LAUDED AND CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED FILMS HAND-PICKED BY JULIUS VINCERE:

MY PETITE EQUESTRIAN EXPERIENCE RATED A

//SCENARIOS.EXE
THEATER I
[ 00:00 ] MY PETITE EQUESTRIAN EXPERIENCE - RATED A

Advertised as a delightful tale of ponies discovering magic and friendship, this is a must-see! For adults that is. The ponies are killed within the first ten minutes, and then the rest of the run time is filled with a celebratory orgy of Roman-esque proportions. There are no mentions of ponies after the initial scene. They are neither seen nor mourned nor heard from. There are only naked, gyrating bodies as far as the eye can see.

If you manage to sit through the horror long enough, you will notice a certain something in between the moaning. Is that your face on one of the protags? Is it a beloved family member or a friend? You will find that spliced between the scenes are cherished and innocent childish memories now being soiled by passionate cries of pleasure. Enjoy the new memory, your poor, sweet summer child. This will only be visible to the viewer himself/herself.
THEATER II
[ 00:00 ] LARGE ADVENTURER 7 - RATED B

A touching tale of dealing with loss and more loss. This film is about a giant robot and his pet human that gets eradicated in the Third Robotic Genocide, leaving behind just a human carcass. The giant robot clings to the carcass and cries robotic tears until finally he chucks the carcass into a river full of carcasses and decides to go on a deep quest in search of cheese.

But spliced between this tale of woe, viewers will see images of themselves caught in a romantic memory. A first kiss, perhaps? A first love-making session? A first crush? A desired one will also have their face molded on top of all the carcasses as they flow away. This will only be visible to the viewer himself/herself.

THEATER III
[ 00:00 ] THE RETALIATORS: ERA OF RADICALON - RATED C

Agent Dick Angry takes it upon himself to assemble a team of miscreant aliens to invade the hell out of "Planet Earth." The aliens include Zorn, an intelligent toaster; Crisis, a blue-skinned beauty that turns purple when she's aroused; Trish, a rogue miniature ficus with a criminal record; and General Cerealia, a handsome, ripped man who beats evil-doers with his laptop and who looks suspiciously like CERES' programmer, Elias.

This adventurous romp will feature the tragic memories of death interweaving with the destruction of the "Planet Earth." Those who attend will see first-hand the memories of their own worlds slowly being demolished before their eyes and all their loved ones screaming in agony. Then it'll loop itself again and again for the last hour of the film. Enjoy! This will only be visible to the viewer himself/herself.
THEATER IV
[ 00:00 ] DECEASE HARDER II - RATED D

Jack McJack is a cop who is having none of your shit. In this action film, he will ride around on a velociraptor and go around punching evil-doers and detonating them with land mines. If you want all the violence in the world, this is the film for you. Watch as every second is filled with pointless explosions and every curse word in all the known languages in Cerealia.

Of course, spliced between every action scene will be every embarrassing moment of your life being played out for you and only you. Or is it? Start sweating and looking in every direction as you begin to wonder if everyone else can see that time you tripped and fell on your senpai almost kissing him (sacre bleu D= !)
BONUS - THEATER V
[ why:o'clock ] YARD-DOOR PEOPLE OF QUESTIONABLE MORALS - RATED Z

This is a touching film about tenderness and coming together to overcome obstacles and achieve greatness. The Yard-Door people run into danger when an evil megalord starts polluting the air with negative feelings. The Yard-Door people must band together and save the world through kindness. They will go and help their neighbors get across the street, rake up leaves from their lawns, donate canned food to the poor, and collect toys for children who do not have any.

While this film will draw tears from your eyes, you will see happy memories. The happiest that can be mustered. They will be spliced in with the scenes in the movie, occurring side-by-side with all the smiles and fuzzy feelings leaking off the screens. This will only be visible to the viewer himself/herself.

Also, beware! This film contains the angriest of Theater Cleaning Robots. Dropping anything on the floor will result in a bit of a flogging with a wooden paddle and a robot calling you a dirty slut and claiming that you like it. Yes, BDSM robots will not take your bad behavior. You better bend over and start apologizing for being such a filthy, little theater-goer.

Senkimaru Hatsushimo | Toki no Kizuna

[personal profile] hagureoni 2015-03-07 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Theater III

[Theaters were nothing he was particularly familiar with. Or rather, he was not familiar at all with it, considering he is usually living during the time in which people fought civil wars to unify Japan. He hadn't really spent attention what kind of movie he was into - and it wasn't particularly long until Senkimaru was a little bored with the agents and aliens.

Until the screen went on to show something else. Something that hit a little too closely home to reality.

Death, death... he had watched that kind of thing too much, too often, has sacrificed so many lives himself, has seen the people of his own clan, and now he could see the destruction of the people he is calling his friends, of the person he cherished a lot...

He moved his hands towards his head, clutching it firmly as if he could block out the images.]
poised: (✰ are you sure it's ok to be that dumb)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-07 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[It was awful. Seeing her kingdom ripped to pieces and her citizens screaming, her heart began to ache. More than that, her anger was thoroughly ignited at the display--

Though when the person seated not too far from her begins to clutch his head, she can't help but be concerned. Admittedly, focusing on another's pain would be easier than continuing to watch what's happening on the screen. So she moves up from her seat, quietly, and then moves to kneel in front of the man, speaking softly as she checks on him.]


Excuse me. Are you alright?
hagureoni: (huh)

[personal profile] hagureoni 2015-03-07 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Trying to get out of the memories that had been triggered by the sight on screen on his own had been difficult. Having a voice interrupting his thought process there definitely helped a little, even if the first thing she was probably greeted with was a fierce glare before it softened into a surprised expression.

This girl in front of him had asked him something, right? He lifts one hand from his head, trying to relax a little.]


Yeah - yeah, I am fine. [This was probably very convincing. Not.]
poised: (✰ have you considered not being an ass)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-07 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Luckily, Natalia isn't afraid of much. So the first glare is continued to be met by her patient stare, even as she waits for it to subside. When it does, she offers a smile.

Manly pride.... really....]


Even so, if you're seeing anything like what I am, I do not believe that this place has anything left for us to see.

Would you mind accompanying me outside, sir?

[if it's like she's asking for help then maybe he won't have his pride damaged so much?!]
hagureoni: (whut)

[personal profile] hagureoni 2015-03-08 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Had she seen something like this as well? Whatever it was, it got him out of his daze and he let his other hand rest on his lap.

It still didn't mean he would trust her that easily, though, even if she seemed polite enough.]


Why would you want my company? You don't even know me.
poised: (✰ call my people dirty one more time)

[personal profile] poised 2015-03-08 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . so the pride was less of an issue than the paranoia. Oh boy.]

You're right. I don't.

Regardless, I had thought it would be better to leave this 'movie' as they call it.... You needn't leave with me if you don't want to, but I'd still rather not stay.

puerilely: less talking more explosions please (god this is sO BORING)

[personal profile] puerilely 2015-03-07 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ To be fair, Shuu could be more butthurt about all of this than he is right now. But considering just how many things he has already seen being destroyed in his life, and considering the fact that he's already dead, or maybe that he's already a little used to the way things work around here--

Or maybe it's just that he's distracted by seeing an actually familiar face seated somewhere else.

So five year old attention span Shuu is immediately distracted from whatever is still going on and instead he makes his way over to where Senkimaru is sitting - caring very little about other people he bumps into on his way there. Geez, just move aside..!!

Eventually he ends up on the seat right in front of Senkimaru's, and he leans with his knees on the seat while popping his elbows up on the top of the back of the chair, staring at the other demon. ]


As I thought, these kind of things really are above old men like Senkimaru-san... [ An airy exaggerated sigh follows.

(This is his way of saying hey, nice to see you too, okay, maybe I sort of missed you.. Shuu just sucks at expressing feelings of any kind, we all know this.) ]
hagureoni: (whut)

[personal profile] hagureoni 2015-03-08 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Having been stuck busy in his memories he didn't notice the small commotion that was going on in the room. Needless to say, the surprise is huge when he hears a familiar voice. He looks up, immediately loosening the grip on his head as he stares at the person in front of him. Someone he just knew all too well.

He was here, whole... he couldn't deny that he was happy to see his friend and comrade. Well, if Shuu wouldn't fall back into their typical banter anyways.

He frowns a little at Shuu.]


That has nothing to do with my age. [He wonders more how Shuu seemed to be completely fine, but then again, never trust how Shuu looked like.]

Anyways, what are you doing here?
puerilely: at least put on a shirt kazutake??? (god what are you wearing)

[personal profile] puerilely 2015-03-08 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hey, at least his distraction worked well enough, didn't it? Say what you want about Shuu, but it's not like he really likes seeing Senkimaru suffer all that much.. they're friends, after all. Sort of.

And at least it's a whole lot better to talk like this, as if nothing has changed. As if they haven't even been seperated to begin with - like they just had a conversation five minutes ago and are now having another. It's a little nice, actually, especially since Shuu has been more lonely than he'd ever be able to admit to himself or to others. ]


Ehhh... [ He drags out the sound for a few moments, almost childishly so. ] Shouldn't I be the one to ask that..? I've been here for so long already, it's Senkimaru-san who's being rude and showing up way late. Did you at least bring Yachiyo-san with you too?
hagureoni: (huh)

[personal profile] hagureoni 2015-03-08 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[He has been so long here already? Of course he had heard about the circumstances they were in and how they ended up in this place in the first place, but thinking that they arrived at completely different times was kind of weird. And worrying. Shuu has never been much on his own and usually didn't do that too well either.]

I don't think I had any choice in that matter. [Really, why was he trying to guilt-trip him here? He must be really crazy to feel happy to see him anyways. He starts waving it off once Shuu asks about Yachiyo, though.]

No, haven't seen him, I thought he'd stick around you. Perhaps he's making life hard for the people who try to 'recover' him. [Or whatever that was, because really, he couldn't really comprehend that yet.]
puerilely: you can't just ask people why they're not hagureoni!!! (oh my god shutendouji-san)

[personal profile] puerilely 2015-03-08 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
.. Hehe..

[ He actually changes a little at that.. mostly since the idea of Yachiyo being rude as hell to the people trying to recover his.. data or whatever it was. Him demanding they go faster, getting all huffy about it.. he can totally imagine it. It's totally what Yachiyo is like.

And he's fond of Yachiyo. Fond of Senkimaru, too, since they really are his only friends. It's why he feels oddly happy to see Senkimaru, since he didn't think he ever would again, but..

Well, he sucks at expressing it. He's trying, though, and it's probably why it instead comes out as a burst of laughter. Maybe a little exaggerated for such a lame joke about Yachiyo, but it's more just that his happiness is manifesting this way.. ]


Then you really must've given them a difficult time too! Geez, you two, you're total wrecks without me..! [ It's not true in the slightest, but.. whatever. It's still a nice thought, that he isn't alone. ]

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-08 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Oi.

[Well, that's sure a compassionate, caring voice. She can tell that there's something wrong with him (and seeing as how she's seen flashes of things she doesn't want to see, it's not hard to guess what), but nonetheless, brooding isn't going to help anyone.

And so--]


If you're not going to watch the movie, you should leave the theater.

[personal profile] hagureoni 2015-03-08 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[He turns his head into the direction the voice came from. It was an unfamiliar girl and Senkimaru narrows his eyes a little at her.]

I don't think that's any of your business.

[Even if she was probably right, staying here didn't do him any favors, he didn't want to be ordered around by a complete stranger.]
compossible: (ahahaha bad ends what bad ends)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-08 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
...Maybe not.

[But nonetheless, she can't help the vague feeling of concern. Vague. Don't get any ideas.]

I'm sure tired of it though. [She stands, brushing herself off, and then--] Coming?
hagureoni: (whut)

[personal profile] hagureoni 2015-03-08 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I have to agree with you on that.

[It's not anything he needed to see, even if he didn't want to run from his responsibilities.]

Coming? Where to? [And there is a big 'why' that he leaves open here as well.]
compossible: (for a brief moment everything was otome)

[personal profile] compossible 2015-03-08 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Does it matter? Anywhere but here.

[Stuck in a bad situation? Elcia's instinct is to get out of the situation. She smiles at him, shrugging.]

Let's go.

[Death was no stranger to a warrior of the Shinsengumi, for whom killing was as natural as breathing. So to watch simple death and destruction - his face doesn't change at all. However, even someone like Saitou wouldn't be able to keep a straight face when those suffering and dying before him were the friends and comrades he had fought with for so long. His reaction isn't as strong as some, but it isn't long before he averts his eyes.]

...I'm unfamiliar with the purpose of such things, but I was under the impression that they were meant to be enjoyable. This... is not what I would consider 'enjoyable'.

[Maybe he wasn't exactly the 'fun' type, but even he could say that with confidence.]
hagureoni: (whut)

[personal profile] hagureoni 2015-03-08 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Senkimaru didn't really expect some stranger to talk with him out of the blue, but he's kind of grateful that he didn't have to spend attention to this anymore. He leans back, directing the gaze at that man.]

I guess some people have weird forms of entertainment.

[Not that he should talk - one of his best friends was probably one of the biggest sadists in the world.]

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-03-08 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
[It's less the reaction that draws Kaoru's attention away from the screen and more the fact that a secondary demonic presence can be detected, and the person that it's coming from isn't recognizable.

So curiosity - curiosity and the desire to entirely ignore everything about the stupid film currently playing - is what eventually has Kaoru shifting down across a few of the empty seats. Once close enough to be heard:]


You should take care, sir. This sort of thing happens often when CERES releases new projects or material... It likely won't become more bearable.

[Just in case Senkimaru wants to bail while things are still relatively mild, that is, since who knows how bad it might get. Kaoru knows CERES shoots for the stars...]
hagureoni: (huh)

[personal profile] hagureoni 2015-03-08 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
[There was an unfamiliar woman that was speaking to him - and one he was pretty sure that had not been seated anywhere near him before. Life had made him always kind of suspicious about the intentions of other people. Yukina and his friends were one thing, though one had to question the trust in his friends, but strangers were a different thing.]

Are you trying to warn me?

[Well, up to this point, he can still play along with this and try to figure out her intentions.]
souredsweet: mewtube (onward still)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2015-03-08 09:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Kaoru's head cants a little to the side at that, gaze drifting toward the screen.]

If you wish to view it as a warning, it would serve well as one.

[So, yes. Yes, basically, it's a warning. One that isn't very useful, all things considered, but a Good Samaritan Warning nonetheless!]

It's best to be prepared in an unpleasant situation like this. As prepared as possible, rather...
hagureoni: (pic#8911291)

[personal profile] hagureoni 2015-03-08 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Now that was starting to sound even more suspicious. His eyes didn't leave Kaoru's face, though. Why? He didn't know. Perhaps it was because he was trying to see what this person was thinking. Or was it something else? He couldn't really point his finger at it yet.]

As prepared as possible? What do you mean?

[ honestly, she feels this movie is distracting her in all the wrong ways as she just keeps 120% focus on the captain and his crazy ass-kicking laptop techniques. Before anything on screen troubles her, though, she drops something and has to look away from the screen.

And that's when she notices the man looking as if he's troubled by some type of headache. The color of his hair is shamefully what makes her freeze and keep attention on him (because, Zero—).

It's obviously not Zero, but she gets up from her seat, anyway, grabbing her bag as she moves past seats and other people to get close enough to him before she sits down in the empty seat next to him, glancing up at him in concern.
]

Are you hurt...?

[ this place she's sure could do just about anything, Zelien made people's heads practically explode with some of the things they pulled. Yuuki also knows she saw strange images in another movie, and while not yet this one, who's to say he hasn't? ]

[The voice gets him out of his thoughts, his memories and he looks at the girl who had asked the question. Why concern herself with a complete stranger like him? Sometimes people were really strange.

He slowly returns his hands to let them relax on his lap, hopefully giving the impression that everything was okay.]


No, I'm not hurt.

[Unless emotional pain counts as well.]

[ totally counts, for the record.

But she doesn't know him at all so she just smiles, taking his word for it.

Ah, good! I know some people get terrible headaches from movies and the lights, I wanted to make sure.
